Le loup et le chien maigre (The Wolf and the Thin Dog) is a 1756 ink by Louis-Simon Lempereur, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a wolf and a scrawny dog standing by a pond. Behind them, a windmill and two small houses sit on a hillside. Trees frame the scene, and the sky is soft with clouds. The title at the bottom, *Le loup et le chien maigre*, hints this is a story about a wolf and a hungry dog. The artist used hand-colored etching to make the details sharp.
